If I wanted to pick the brains of smart software testers... whom should I talk with? Recommendations welcome; I have writers who need to interview subject matter experts or just plain accomplished folks. ...and not just the big names!
@GharrOfNox As simple as this: Tell me whom you want to listen to!
@estherschindler how do you define 'smart' software testers.
If you're looking to avoid the big names I'd recommend looking at the trainers/professors through SQA's courses. I myself have completed a number of ISTQB certificates they train for, started a QA program/process where there wasn't one and am daily pushing those around me to improve their own methods.
